Now, let's understand how to list all the DynamoDB
tables using the AWS SDK for PHP.
In this recipe, we will learn how to list the tables we created earlier using the AWS SDK for PHP:
Create an instance of the
DynamoDB
client and invoke thelistTables
method:$client = DynamoDbClient::factory(array( 'profile' => 'default', 'region' => 'us-west-2' )); $response = $client->listTables();
Iterate over the list to get the details of the tables:
foreach ($response['TableNames'] as $key => $value) { echo "$value" . PHP_EOL; }
The AWS SDK for PHP also provides the option to limit the number of tables that are retrieved, and it supports pagination as well. If you have a lot of tables created, then you can fetch the results in the paginated format, as follows:
$tablesArray = array(); do { $response = $client->listTables(array( 'Limit' => 5,...
